QOTW:  "All praise Paul Duffin and Jan Nijtmans for the Stubs revolution

    Late binding is a good thing.  But freedom--or even configurability,
    let's say--always demands diligence.  msgcat does more for your
    (in)security than you might realize.

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his so-accurate summary of Wiki activity:
  After all these meteorological events from the past couple
  of weeks, it is good to know there is the Wiki - a steadfast
  resource that continues to amaze!
  
  Full of ideas ...
  - The proposed more-descriptive name for this page is
    rather prosaic: using pictures as radiobuttons. 
    But have a look at these flowers!
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/9888>
  
  - Talking of flowers, what is wrong with trees?
    Well, nothing, at least nothing that can not
    be amended: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14753>
  
  - Folding has multiple interpretations, but 
    here is a deeply computer-scientific one ...
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14726>
  
  - And as OO is the topic of the week in the 
    Tcl community, why not have a look at 
    "traits" too? <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14761>
    or contribute to <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14754>
  
  - And now that we are at it, let us consider
    even more radical changes - 
    <http://wiki.tcl.tk/495>
  
  At a loss 
  - Once you have read all the goodies on the
    Wiki, your computer has probably been 
    idle for a while - check it with this
    little package - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14765>
  
  - Your Wiki chronicler does not usually review
    personal pages much, but this one just had
    a nice remark about Tcl used in stealth mode 
    ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/9657>


Everything Tcl-related you want is probably one or two clicks away in these
